In a solid, particles are held in a semi-rigid position while in a liquid they have more free movement.
Therefore, which state will heat up quicker? Which will cool down quicker?

7. Land and Sea Breezes

8. Land and Sea Breezes
During the day, the sun heats the land and the sea

9. Land and Sea Breezes
The land heats up faster than the sea and is therefore warmer

10. Land and Sea Breezes
Warm air rises off the land, creating an area of low pressure there
LOW

11. Land and Sea Breezes
Cooler air from above the sea rushes to replace the rising warm air
LOW

12. Land and Sea Breezes
LOW
This is known as a Sea Breeze

13. Land and Sea Breezes

14. Land and Sea Breezes
During the night, the land and sea cool down

15. Land and Sea Breezes
The land cools down faster than the sea and is therefore colder

16. Land and Sea Breezes
This creates an area of high pressure over the land
HIGH

17. Land and Sea Breezes
Air moves from a high pressure area to one of lower pressure
HIGH

18. Land and Sea Breezes
HIGH
This is known as a Land Breeze

19. Land and Sea Breezes
Land and Sea Breezes have a significant effect on coastal temperatures.

20. Land and Sea Breezes
Land and Sea Breezes have a significant effect on coastal temperatures.
They mean that coastal areas are unlikely to ever get as cold or as warm as areas further inland.

21. Land and Sea Breezes
Land and Sea Breezes have a significant effect on coastal temperatures.
They mean that coastal areas are unlikely to ever get as cold or as warm as areas further inland.
This means they have a smaller daily temperature range (the difference between the minimum and maximum temperatures each day).
